Recent military actions in Ukraine have resulted in further casualties and infrastructure damage. Russian strikes on Kyiv reportedly killed at least eight people, while overnight assaults in the Zaporizhzhia region left three dead and eighteen injured. Authorities in Dnipro confirmed four fatalities from Russian bombardments. Additionally, three individuals were wounded in Dnipropetrovsk and ten in Sumy. These events led to power outages across the Sumy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia areas. Meanwhile, Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, stated that Russian air defenses intercepted 46 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital early Tuesday, with no immediate reports of damage or casualties. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his readiness for discussions with American representatives, provided Washington focuses on issues beyond Iran, stating, "We are ready to continue negotiations and the discussion of all the details."
